We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Shane from the SES. On behalf of the members of the Frankston Fire Brigade, we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues at SES Frankston Unit.

Shane’s dedication, courage, and commitment to serving the community will never be forgotten. He stood beside us in times of need, and his contribution to protecting our community will always be remembered with respect and gratitude.

Rest easy, Shane.🧡🧡

Today, the SES Frankston family shares the deeply heartbreaking news of the passing of our much-loved member and friend, Shane Rogers.

Since joining our Unit in 2018, Shane brought with him a rare and genuine warmth that you simply can’t teach.
His generosity, quiet curiosity, and steady presence quickly made him an integral part of SES Frankston — especially within our training team — but to know Shane was to know that his impact went far beyond any role or title.

Shane was, at his core, someone who truly cared about people. He showed up — consistently and selflessly — as a source of support, encouragement, and kindness to everyone around him. He had a way of making time slow down during his famous cuppa-and-chat moments, where conversations would wander through his incredible knowledge and lived experiences, and you’d walk away feeling better than when you arrived.

Outside of the orange overalls, Shane’s love of motorbikes was well known. He found genuine joy in heading off on adventures, discovering new places to explore, or tracking down the perfect spot for a good coffee. It was this passion — combined with his deep commitment to helping others — that made the Peninsula Toy Run one of his favourite community engagement events that SES Frankston was proud to support alongside him.

He wasn’t just a dedicated volunteer. He was a steady hand, a warm presence, and a genuine mate to so many within our membership.

The legacy Shane leaves behind is one of compassion, quiet service, and unwavering support for others — a legacy SES Frankston is incredibly proud to carry forward in his name.

Our hearts are with all who knew and loved him.

Rest easy now, Shane — you can stand down. 🧡

Good morning all
We're down at the Frankston Pines SC Community day, come down say hi 👋
Lots of fun games and activities for the family.
